Green energy? Buyer beware!

Future of American Energy: Obama’s Anti-Energy Environmental Extremists or Romney’s Free Enterprise Pro-growth
The Obama vision has been an unmitigated disaster. Countless failures, bankruptcies and layoffs are matched by a need for perpetual subsidies – taken from hard-working, productive people and businesses, and given by unaccountable bureaucrats to failed technologies and companies, run by crony-corporatists who return the favor by contributing substantial portions of our compulsory taxpayer largesse to the reelection campaigns of cooperative politicians.

Obama lies about oil subsidies – deceiver-in-chief

Your money gone with the wind – $50 million paid for shutting down wind turbines
Taxpayers subsidize wind energy, pay up to 38% higher electric rates due to requiring “renewable” energy and now will have to pay for wind turbines to sit idle. This exemplifies the absurdness of “green” energy subsides, mandates and wasted government spending. How long will we put up with this insanity?

Why we hate our government – stupid stuff from D.C.
We continue to see lunacy from congress which really amounts to feeble attempts to buy votes and stay in power while bankrupting future generations. Is there any wonder why congress’ approval ratings are at historic lows? Why do we keep sending the same stupid people back?
